About PostgreSQL
PostgreSQL, often simply Postgres, is an object-relational database management system (ORDBMS) available for many platforms including Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, MS Windows and Mac OS X.It is released under the PostgreSQL License, which is an MIT-style license, and is thus free and open source software. As with many other open-source programs, PostgreSQL is not controlled by any single company - a global community of developers and companies develop the system. It is ACID-compliant, is fully transactional (including all DDL statements), implements the majority of the SQL:2008 standard has extensible data types, operators and indexes, and there are a large number of extensions that have been written for it.
GroundWork Monitor utilizes PostgreSQL as the data store for all configuration and monitoring data.
